I am actually both a writer and artist. I am going to be Artist-in-Residence at the Lewis and Clark County Historical Society (58 N. Last Chance Gulch, in downtown Helena, Montana), during the month of July. I'll be working on my Helena Genius Loci series of paintings. This is a look at my first painting in progress, based on Chief Washakie of the Shoshone, as the South, on a 3 by 4 feet canvas. The first phase will be four paintings as the basis for an installation piece.

About Me

I recently moved from Helena, Montana, where I grew up, to White Cloud, Kansas where my tribe is based. I am an artist and an anthropologist/archaeologist, and live simply here with my wife Lisa. I help my tribe out with cultural and historic preservation, serving as the THPO for the Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska. My new Nemaha blog is dedicated to the land and people of the Nemaha. It is where most of my blogging will be taking place, beginning in November 2013. I will update my other blogs occasionally as well.
